Route Notes Very bad conditions on the mountain. There was not enough snow and the route was too icy. No fixed rope installed, all in all very dangerous. Samuel Vuillemez tried alone with 2 Sherpas and reached the highpoint of expedition at 7200m. They turned around because of dangerous conditions. Viso and Marc turned around earlier at 7000m. According to Marc, nobody was able to summit that season. Viso and Marc were with Pemba Sherpa and another climbing Sherpa. They spent more or less 4 weeks at the mountain, 3 weeks above BC.
